Windsor for The Derby are Against Love, tour Europe

·

Down here in the deep south, the summer seems to be fully upon us. In fact, today the temperature reached an almost unseasonal 92-degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity could be cut with a razor. Its during days like this when the sun seems to have a stagnant hold on the world, when a high-powered ceiling fan is the only consolation that the droning movements of Windsor for The Derby have the most relevance. So it is only fitting that the Philadelphia/Austin space/post-rockers have a new full-length release to accompany the summer sweltering that is bound to be just a sedative as their music.

Against Love, the band’s eighth proper album, will be hitting stores and front doors June 22 in the US and June 21 in the UK via Secretly Canadian. If you want an idea of the further development in their pop-psych sound on this new sonic construction of theirs, go ahead and snag a download of the track “Queen of the Sun” off the new album right here. As of now, the band plans to leave a trail of distorted particles through a good chunk of Europe come late this year, hopefully the same for the US after. For now, I just leave you Americans with the tracklist and the beckoning heat of a summer that lurks ever closer.
